The internation- al bankers' conference at Paris had no easy task before it. The bankers themselves might have no great dif- ticulty in agreeing on terms for, a loan, but they represent only one group of several " that brought into agreement. On the second day of their delib- erations they encountered a snag which may not be the least hard to | oxeite and certainly will not be the last that will try their ingenuity and patience. News from Berlin has represented Germany as disposed Lo must reject the plan that found favor with | | the reparations commission for bal- | | ancing the German budget.

YE U.S. TARIFF BILL. opposition to the pending | United States tariff bill is becoming | pressions of opinion which are com- {ing from the masses of the people, jand as this opposition develops there. [1s a chance that the bill will never {become law in its present form. It 1s but natural that this opposition {should be late in developing, for pub- {lic opinion is slow to educate. The | interests which clamoured for the {high tariff needed no such education, They knew what they wanted. They secured the sympathetic ear of those In high places, and the tariff bill was Meanwhile, they told the [People that this bill was to be a tre- mendous™benefit to all. At first this story was accepted, but as the real meaning of the high tariff was borne home to the masses there grew a feel- ing that it was 'not to be of much benefit to anyone but those who shouted for it. Gradually this feel- {Ing grew, until there is to-day in the United States a strong and well de- fined body of public opinion lined up against the high tariff bill. Naturally, the Democratic party is in the forefront of the opposition, and the arguments presented by De- mocratic senators are those of the |masses. The minority report of these {senators charges that enactment of the bill will provide the protected in- terests with the machinery for push- ing the cost of living back to war- time levels. One senator declared that the bill contained "the germ of a business and industrial debacle" with consequent advances in prices, decreased production and increased unemployment. These are the ideas which are slowly but surely filtering into the minds of the people, and they are but logical, for any high tariff is bound to have just that effect, The undoubted purpose of the tariff bill is to give the big industrial interests a greater measure of pro- tection that they can possibly require, and the rates which appear in the bill are adapted admirably to accomplish this purpose. The strength of the protective wings is such that the logl- cal outcome will be the growth of {trusts and monopolies and the na- tural consequences will be a rever- sion to higher prices. The same is true of all high tariffs. They give as- sistaneé to a chosen few who do not need assistance, but they press heav- ily on the masses who already find it 'hard to make ends meet. "The higher the tariff, the greater the hardship," is a maxim-which is causing the com- mon people to do some real think- ing. With this sentiment gaining ground, there {is a strong hope that the tariff bill will never be enacted in its, present form, and with its Present rates, Canadian industrial and agricultural interests have been undily perturbed over the possible effects of such a tariff on their trade, but they can safely forget their wor- ries.
